The only disadvantage of display port that I can think of is that it’s harder to find capture devices (or at least Linux compatible ones) that have display port. Generally no one cares about that stuff though. I use capture cards because I sometimes do stuff involving other computers and it’s 1000 times more convenient to have a vlc window floating around with the display output.

No one seems to have this use case besides me, I’m just glad that there exist capture cards fast enough to do playback in real-time and not a 5 second delay. I don’t stream.

Psensor. It’s gui only. I don’t care for the graph so I just resize the window until I only see the numbers.

They definitely won’t be selling any of that to scammers /s

When it fucks up, good luck fixing it without an os reinstall. That’s the price. If it was easier/possible to restore to a fully working state after it gets borked, it would be really good.

Amazing. Where is this?

Because zoneminder sucks and the other ones are kind of corporate and crappy?

They must not be very good hackers if they have to use a third party service instead of making their own local ai and using it for their shenanigans 🤷

They already replaced the default start menu with a bullshittier one.

I can see the headlines now. “GOP passes bill banning civilian ownership of anything faster than a Pentium III.”

How the fuck can they not compete with 5G? Is using the advantages of their wired infrastructure to just provide customers with the same service as always but without the bandwidth caps, effectively overcoming the 1 major disadvantage of mobile internet, really that hard?

Wow wtf my comment didn’t go to the post I intended. Huh.

That’s precisely 12.4 gazillion dollars. Over 3x the value of the entire milky way galaxy.

So if you could theoretically let out a big enough fart, it would be visible on Google Maps.

Welp, using the internet was fun while it lasted. I’ll still use Firefox for all my browsing until I can’t anymore and after that I guess I’ll go fuck myself for entertainment instead of internet browsing.

I finally upgraded from a 3rd gen i7 to a 6th gen i7. There was no actual performance difference besides my gpu vram getting hotter, I just did it because the motherboard wasn’t as shit. I’m sure the difference between a 6th gen i7 and an 8th gen i7 is equally unnoticeable. I didn’t want to ever boot Windows again anyway.

Edit: huh, I’m intrigued by the downvotes. Is it because I used the wording “no actual performance difference” rather than providing benchmarks and proof? Is it because computer technology isn’t improving at the rate it used to and people are in denial and/or easily triggered about it? Or maybe because I’m “probably a troll” based on my username?

Sometimes I say [brand name] over and over just to see if my phone serves me relevant ads or spam emails afterwards. If it doesnt give me [brand name] ads, that means my privacy module settings are tuned correctly. Sometimes if I receive a remotely “relevant” spam email, I get suspicious of whatever thing I most recently downloaded.

It may be a futile endeavor to make it so that no one can steal to my information but I’ll make damn sure acquiring my information is too expensive to be profitable. Make them hire better/actual hackers instead of using an automatic script.

When the government starts taking away unlocked bootloader phones, I will be switching to ham radio instead of getting a locked down phone. Fuck the system.

There probably will someday be a push to prevent common normal people from having access to computer systems that offer the user root or superuser access. “ThE aVeRaGe PeRsOn DoEsNt NeEd AdMiN pErMiSsIoNs” or “think of the children”. Ipads and surface pros will be allowed but something like a socket 1155 motherboard won’t.

Definitely not the IT people keeping their ai servers running, that’s for sure.

Security camera stuff is really lacking. The only good one is zoneminder. It mostly works but it breaks a lot.
